Christmas brings the good stuff — great food, good company — and let’s be honest, a little too much of both. If you’re feeling full, frazzled, or just ready to breathe again, this one’s for you.

I’ve put together a 30-minute, beginner-friendly self-care yoga flow designed to help you decompress, move gently, and reset your nervous system. It blends seated and standing postures. Watch it free on YouTube at Lifeshiift

The third act - older adulthood - often begins with a quiet but powerful identity shift.

Who have I been?
Who am I now?
Who am I becoming?

Being “just me” can feel disorienting at first — until you realize it’s the foundation of your new life, not a reduction of the old one.

When your values, your joy, and your daily choices begin to align — even in small ways — life starts to feel easier. More grounded. More authentically you.

This chapter isn’t about rushing answers.
It’s about asking better questions — and giving yourself time to hear them.

A personal update: I’ve just inherited a cat from a dear friend who passed away. Her name is Darlin, and she is very committed to demonstrating the art of napping. After years of living alone since losing my husband, I’m discovering the quiet joy (and occasional frustration) of sharing my space again. She’s a tiny reminder that companionship can arrive in unexpected forms—and that rest can be contagious.

Something shifts after 55 — not loudly, but insistently.
This month’s blog brings together much of what I’ve learned through Lifeshiift—from my own journey and from the generous insights of our contributors. After revisiting our blogs and videos, a simple framework emerged for creating a fulfilling life after 55. I hope it resonates. And I would truly love to hear from you: What rings true? What would you change? What would you add?

If you’ve been feeling that low hum inside — that tug that says something new is calling — you’re in good company. So many women in their third act are sensing the same thing: a shift, a hunger, a quiet curiosity about what’s next. That whisper is worth listening to. As Lifeshiift has grow...

A lot of people say happy holidays but how do you stay happy during the holiday season?
This time ask a lot of us — emotionally, physically, and sometimes financially. It’s easy to slip into old patterns of doing everything for everyone.�But one of the simplest ways to ease stress is to add something new just for you.
A short class, a creative spark, a walk somewhere different, a tiny adventure — novelty actually lifts mood and reduces stress, especially later in life. It reminds your nervous system that life isn’t only about responsibilities; it’s also about discovery.
Trying something new isn’t another task — it’s a release valve.
